How much exercise is to much exercise?

It depends on what types of exercise you are doing. From what I have read in books, online, and in Shape magazine, there is no problem with doing daily cardiovascular exercise (such as walking, running, bicycling, dancing, aerobics, etc. ). In fact, it is recommended to get at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per day.

However, if you are going to the gym for strength training everyday, you need to be more careful. Your muscles build by tearing during exercise and then repairing themselves. If you are exercising the same muscle groups everyday, then you're not allowing them time to heal.

This can be resolved either by taking a day off between strength training sessions or by exercising upper body one day and lower body or core muscles the next. By rotating which muscle groups you are working on, you're allowing the group you worked on the previous day time to heal.It is also important to distinguish between exercising to maintain a healthy lifestyle and being obsessed with exercise. Compulsive exercising can be a serious problem and crosses the line of simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Compulsive exercise (also called obligatory exercise and anorexia athletica) is best defined by an exercise addict's frame of mind: He or she no longer chooses to exercise but feels compelled to do so and struggles with guilt and anxiety if he or she doesn't work out. Injury, illness, an outing with friends, bad weather — none of these will deter those who compulsively exercise. In a sense, exercising takes over a compulsive exerciser's life because he or she plans life around it.

The exercise intensity varies from individual to individual and this can be described as strenuous, moderate or mild depending on the current fitness of an individual. For example, an Olympic 10,000 runner jogging one mile in 9 minutes would count as mild activity for him but for most people it be considered strenuous already or even impossible. Experts advise that for the purposed of general health mild to moderate levels of physical activity are all that is required and beyond that would be strenuous.

For many people mild to moderate would mean brisk walking or equivalent level of effort in another activity. Brisk will depend on an individual's currents state of health too. Be sure that it is a pace at which you feel you are making enough and good progress while still being able to hold a conversation.

The rule of thumb when doing moderate intensity exercise: it will make you a little warm or sweaty and slightly out of breath but nothing more than that. The Chief Medical officer recommends this following guide: 1. A 30-min.

Moderate-intensity physical activity, 5 days a week for an adult. 2. It is OK to not to do the whole 30 min.In one time, you can have up to 3 ten min.

Burst of activity in a day if you prefer. 3. The activity can consist of walking to shops, taking the dog out which are called 'lifestyle activity' or structured exercise or sport and it should be of moderate intensity 4.

People who are obese and need to manage their weight because of medical condition is going to need 45-60 min. Of exercise 5 times a week the least.5.To promote bone health activities that can create high physical stresses on bone is required.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
